I recently bought a 2008 spyder with only one key, so I purchased a second key from dealer,had it cut ,then returned to my dealer for programming.I pick up the bike and the new key works but my other key will not work anymore. Dealer says you can only program 4 keys, so how did he program a new key if I had reached my limit , also can the dealer not delete a key that not being used (MISPLACED). Thanks for your help.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Tell the dealer to do it again. When you program a new. You have to start with a working key. When the master key is put in to start the programming. The working key that you started with has to be put back in. Along with the new key(s). Up to a total of 4 max. All other keys will be deleted. Your Spyder also may be still in programming mode and don't know it if only 1 key is programmed. This will drain the battery in a couple days. Go back to the dealer and tell them to do it right.

Tell dealer to do it again, so only your 2 keys work. On plus side the original key can be cloned to a clone chip sometime like Keyport https://www.mykeyport.com/ Finless has more information on other key options as well.

The original key does not work anymore. You can clone a key that does not work. But why would you want to? The clone won't work either.

You and your dealer don't seem to understand. The manual is not wrong in this regard. There is a maximum of 4 keys can be programed at any one time. But every time you go through the programming steps and the first new key is programmed successfully. All former keys are deleted. Then any old keys that you wish to keep working have to be programmed again. Tell your dealer to run the steps again and put in all keys that you want to work.
The picture is copied right out of the service manual.
